Is it still possible to buy the old formula Behr Premium Plus Eggshell No. 2050?

I need to match paint that I currently have, but do not want to re-paint the entire basement. I don't trust the new Zero VOC formula to match the existing finish after reading the reviews.

It goes on thick and has amazing coverage.
We had one room with deep red walls and another with an extremely bright, bold mural that covered every wall.
In both cases one coat covered them, there was one rainbow that required a bit of touch-up (not certain what kind of paint that color was) but it was minimal.
Jobs we anticipated taking a week were done in a weekend.

I buy Premium Plus frequently because of the quality of the finish, the convenience of locations to purchase, the price and rewards discounts, and the convenience of store hours.
Improvements to be made at Home Depot:
1) If you started delivering paint to professionals and homeowners on demand...whoa! that would be something.
2) Personnel lack significant professional paint experience and knowledge, but it is getting better. But I understand their limitations going in, so I work around it.

I specifically asked the counter clerk for a mid grade, one below best and said I wanted good hiding coverage since I was going over a medium brown. This was the paint offered up. I looked at the label which clearly states "Behr Premium Plus" with "Lifetime Warranty". Sounds like the quality I requested. She also said any complaint needs to be taken to Behr, not HD.
I was prepared for two coats and here I am now buying a third coat. This clerk, with the same request went and got the "Behr Premium Plus-Ultra". When I asked about the difference, she said the first type is one up from "Contractor Grade" and it was not a great paint.
I wasnt tinting, just using Ultra Pure White -what ever that means in a low grade quality. I use HD best quality rollers, 3/8" nap and I know how to load them properly with paint.
When compared to the Premium Plus Ultra, this Premium PLus, Ultra Pure White is very different. In fact the lower grade (this one) is thicker viscosity than the higher grade. Go figure.
Shame on Behr and HD for this misleading labeling. Perhaps a poorly trained paint clerk. But I recommend you avoid the claims about this paint. Its disappointing. Third coat here I come. Grrrr.

Bought a gallon thinking it would be enough to do the room, but it wasn't. So, went back to the store and bought a second. Well, put on the second coat only to find the colors didn't match (the cut-in part and the rolled part). Some advise. If this is the circumstance you find yourself in bring the 1st container of paint, let them mix it BUT wait for everything to dry to compare the colors. We had to re-paint and "cut-in" the entire room over again...
To Home Depot's credit they did supply us with enough paint and supplies at no charge but it took 2 days to re-paint instead of one.

My wall paint about 9 years old, so it needed much touching up. I told the paint dept that it is a flat enamel. He said we don't have a flat enamel. It's either flat or eggshell. I told him it has very little gloss. He said then it's eggshell. I take it home a gallon and paint a small section and when it dried it was too glossy. I go back and buy the flat. Take it home and now it's too flat. So next day I go back and see a different paint guy. He says try the matte. So I buy it and try it and it matches. I now have 2 full gallons of paint I don't need and can't return it because its tinted. All because Behr changed the name from flat enamel to matte. I wasted lots of money while you made a good profit off of me.

Great coverage on brickWe purchased a home where the previous owners had done a half-baked job of painting the brick on the front of the fireplace in the family. We are rehabbing the room and with the brick already (kind of) painted we decided to do it right and put a good coat of quality paint on the fireplace.
This enamel is great, and great on brick. The eggshell is just the right balance between glossy and flat on our brick. All in all, it went on easily, had great coverage, and looks good. Would definitely recommend.
